This print is another that started from some of the life drawings I did in August. I decided to combine two separate drawings - together they seemed to give a vibe of alertness, if not alarm. And a naked man and a naked woman imply Adam and Eve, so I needed to include fruit. I did consider the serpent but you can just presume he's scarpered. And something blowing in at the window that has captured their attention.
The still life dates from the time of Lockdown - a course I'd signed up for ended up on Zoom, so we ended up doing still lifes off a screen. Far from ideal but at least I have suitable drawings in my collection. And the window I pinched from Matisse. Cuz he's a great painter of open windows.
Four colours meant a lot of cutting, especially as the print area is around A3. I think it was worth it, but having just finished, all the flaws are waving at me right now.
